Genetically modified (GM) foods are foods derived from genetically modified organisms. Genetically modified organisms have had specific changes【C1】________ into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques. GM foods were first put on the market in the early 1990s, but the European Union had not approved a number of genetically modified crops until late 1998. But【C2】________ public concern over their supposed environmental and health risks led several EU countries to demand a moratorium (暂时禁止) on imports of any new GM produce. By late 1999 there were enough such countries to【C3】________ any approvals of GM produce.
Last year, America【C4】________ a complaint at the WTO about the moratorium, arguing that it was an illegal trade barrier because there was no scientific【C5】________ for it. As more studies have been completed on the effect of GM crops, the greens’ case against them has weakened. And【C6】________ evidence has emerged of health risks from eating them. And, overall, the studies have shown that the environmental effects of modified crops are not always as serious as the greens claim. Nevertheless, environmentalists continue to find fault【C7】________ such studies and argue that they are【C8】________ .
While Americans seem to be happy enough to consume food made from GM crops, opinion polls continue to show that European consumers dislike the idea. Europeans seem to be taking the attitude that, since there remains the slightest possibility of【C9】________ consequences and since it is unclear how they, as consumers, benefit from GM crops, they would rather not【C10】________ the risk.

I. little J. inconclusive K.in L. with
M. adverse N. run O. bar
【C8】
选项
答案
J
解析
词义辨析题。根据词性,此处应当填入形容词。上文说能证明转基因食品有害的证据很少,但环境主义者仍然试图找出这些研究的错处,可见空格中应当填入贬义词,可选范围为“adverse,inconclusive”。adverse意为“不利的,有害的”,如Despite the adverse conditions,the road was finished in just eight months.“尽管存在种种不利情况,公路还是仅用8个月就完工了”。adverse不能与主语“study”搭配。而inconclusive指“(结论、决定等)非决定性的;无效的;无结果的”。故答案为inconclusive。
